[TheForge] inert gas leaks

[Andy Gladish]

It's something to watch out for if you carry inert gas cylinders in a
vehicle, which I often do because I don't want em rolling around in the
truck bed and it's so easy to just throw em in the back seat.
Keeping the windows open is a seriously good idea.

FWIW. I thought All that was interesting.  & it applies to some of our
shops. The ice rink disaster was caused by a refrigerant leak which
displaced O2. I have a recurring problem w my inert gas regulators leaking
small amts of gas where reg connects to tank. Not a danger for me as leaks
r small & shop is large @ drafty. But in a close/tight space would/could be
dangerous. We all think abt fuel gas & O2 leaks as dangerous (& they r) but
other gasses displace O2.  Just as hazardous 2 u r health.
